Professor Lee runs a Health Data Science lab, which consisted of 30 native students and physicians, 20 international students, and 10 active research collaborators around the world. Professor Lee’s lab has rich experiences in evaluating the clinical value of new diagnostic tests. He pioneered in this field by introducing several new biomarkers and point-of-care multiplex PCR systems in Taiwan’s EM practice. He is also engaged in the development of artificial intelligence algorithm for decision support in the complicated environment of emergency medicine. One of the most impactful findings of the lab is the discovery of the fatal cardiovascular complications, aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm rupture, associated with use of fluoquinolone antibiotics. Professor Lee published a series of pharmacoepidemiology study in several prestigious journals, such as JAMA internal medicine and Journal of American College of Cardiology, causing Food and Drug Administration of US to issue an official waring to change the global antibiotics prescription guideline. The FDA waring issued on December 20 of 2018 recommends against the use of fluoquinolone in elderly patients with hypertension or peripheral vascular disease, or congenital collagen defect such as Marfan or Ehlers-Danos syndrome, unless there are no alternative antibiotics choices.
